Regional seed mixtures as an effective tool in diversity conservation of meadow habitats

Principle investigator: Klára Řehounková
Co-investigator: Czech Union for Nature Conservation (Principle Investigator); Masaryk University in Brno; Agrostis Trávníky, s.r.o.; Basic organization ČSOP White Carpathians; Basic organization ČSOP Vlašim; Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Norway; BROZ (Slovakia)
Funding provider: EEA and Norway Grants 2014-2021
Grant No.: 3211100009
Duration: 2022- 2024

Although regional meadow seed mixtures have been used in our country for a long time, these are only local activities. The project investigates the methods that are most suitable for the near natural restoration of species-rich meadows (brushed plant biomass containing seeds, green hay transfer, threshing). The efficiency of different brush collectors is being tested, from the smallest hand-held collector to manually pushed collectors up to the tractor-guided collector. The project has several objectives: 1) to find as many diverse meadows as possible across the country that can serve as a source of seeds, map them, and enter them into a database; 2) to test different seed collection technologies in different conditions and evaluate their benefits and limitations; 3) to disseminate all the collected knowledge and experience to the general public
